About Us

You're busy, us too. In fact we’ve been busy finding solutions to your compliance problems for two decades.

Solutions like helping your staff put complex information law and privacy requirements into context, protecting against personal data loss and corporate reputation damage. We like to call this ‘Compliance as a Service’ or CaaS™. CaaS can greatly reduce the financial burden of compliance, by bringing you cost effective training, access to compliance technology and expert Data Protection staff.

Some of the country’s leading professional bodies and training organisations have chosen iCompli as their compliance partner including the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Econsultancy, the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants, the Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, to name a few. iCompli has wide ranging experience in GDPR preparedness audits both in the UK and abroad, gap analysis workshops and GDPR guidance and consultation, for a broad variety of sectors.
